On an annual basis, EMNet compiles publicly available burn center data about all U.S. emergency rooms, and presents this information in findERnow. Specifically, EMNet compiles lists of burn centers verified by the American Burn Association (ABA) or local government (state or Washington, D.C.).
EMNet also can provide researchers with the complete list of burn centers (yes/no), linked with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Provider ID numbers. To request this list, please contact us at emnet@partners.org with a project proposal, including:
- Your name, title, and contact information
- Background information on project
- Your objective/hypothesis
- Study design, including analytic plan
- Year(s) of burn center data requested
- Potential authors (including institution) of the resulting presentation or report
- Timeline for project
In any resulting presentation or report (including scientific manuscripts), please cite: Lu LY, Boggs KM, Espinola JA, Sullivan AF, Cash RE, Camargo CA Jr. Development of a Unified National Database of Burn Centers with Co-located Emergency Departments, 2020.
